Was this a crude Christmas joke on Chamisa or just spelling mistake?

A well-wisher promised a vulgar Christmas gift for the Movement for Democratic Change leader Nelson Chamisa and he innocently welcomed it.

It is not clear, however, whether this was a crude joke or just a spelling mistake by the well-wisher as he apparently offered Chamisa and his lawyer Thabani Mpofu a “huge cork”.

Chamisa, probably innocently believed he had been offered a cock and responded: “Oh great! Thank you for this kind gesture dear brother. Will DM to get directions on where to collect. Happy holidays. Be super blessed!”

Perhaos it was all in good fatih and his followers all thought their leader had been offered a cock.
